Down the Drain
(Props to Dawn and Monty)
or
Bring Down the Shower Curtain
Janet Leigh, the woman who did for showers what Steven Speilberg did to wading in the ocean, has died at the age of 77. After filling the pipes of the Bates Motel with her blood, she ironically couldn’t pass blood through her own pipes, dying of vasulitis - inflammation of the blood vessels. In addition to Psycho, for which she earned an Oscar nomination as best supporting actress for about 7 minutes of screen time, she appeared in The Manchurian Candidate and Touch of Evil. Leigh admitted that the rumors she was nude during the shower scene were at least partially true. Although she had a flesh-colored body suit, in the course of more than 70 takes under water, there were times when it became too soggy, saggy and unmanageable and she did without.
